Despite repeated warnings, students have been late for class since the start of the semester.
But this is the first time we've had eight people together like today.
Professor Lily probably never expected that a mere two-day holiday would make the students so lax.
Of the eight, Doron from the House of Nobles suddenly raised his hand.
Professor Lily narrowed her eyes: "Doron, what do you have to say?"
Upon being late for the first time in his life, Doron gritted his teeth and said, "Professor, I didn't mean to be late."
Professor Lily: "No one was late on purpose."
Doron: "Well, it's different for me! I felt weak and exhausted when I woke up this morning..."
Professor Lily: "Alright, Dorron, I already know you were late because you overslept, so shut your mouth."
The classroom erupted in laughter.
Doron immediately shut up.
The other latecomers were also filled with shame and dared not say a word.
No one noticed that several of them had two faint marks on the back of their necks that were about to fade.
In short.
After class, they received double the amount of homework.
……
The second lesson was still Professor Kazel's theory of magic.
In the third month of their first year of school, Professor Kazel finally began teaching about the making of magic cards.
He didn't look very well, but he still spoke slowly and deliberately: "Today, we will begin to teach one of the methods of making magic cards - how to imprint spells on the cards!"

Chapter 127 History, Magic, and Universal Spells
"With the rapid development of magical technology, the magic of the old era has been gradually abandoned."
"But that doesn't mean we'll stop using magic."
Professor Cazell flicked his finger, and a wisp of flame appeared at his fingertip.
The flames rose with the wind and transformed into a magic wand.
With a gentle shake, it transformed into a thin card.
He blew on it again and extinguished it, looking outrageously cool.
“Learning magic is extremely difficult and tedious. Most magicians spend their entire lives learning how to cast a single fireball spell, and we usually call them magic apprentices. But magic apprentices were already very precious in the previous generation.”
“Reciting incantations and drawing upon magical power are only one part of casting spells.”
"To truly unleash a fireball spell, one must understand how a fireball is generated, why it can burn, what the medium for combustion is, the relationship between magic and flame, the pattern of flame temperature changes, and how long it can last..."
……
Professor Kazel explained it in great detail.
The attention to detail was so meticulous that the junior mages were practically exploding with frustration.
Dark saw that Diana was already covering her head and slumped over the table, probably with small circles appearing in her eyes.
Fortunately, a few minutes later, Professor Kazel simply flicked his tail, bringing the topic of magic from the old era to a close.
……
"But with the development of magical technology, we solved this problem."
"As long as we write the corresponding spell using the magical language and imprint the spell on the card to make a complete magic card, we can activate it through a simple summoning spell to release the magic."
"Of course, magical languages are a course you will learn in your second year."
"The language of magic varies from person to person and involves a great many factors."
"The same fireball spell will result in different spells if written by different mages."
"However, there are also some special spells that are universal."
"Before learning the language of magic, we can try to make simple magic cards by copying down these universal spells."
"Now turn to the appendix at the end of the textbook."
……
Following Professor Cazell's instructions, the students turned to the last appendix page of their textbooks.
Appendix 1. General Spells
①Magic Bullet Spell
②Push-Push Spell
③ Obstacle Spell
④ Fade spell
⑤ Blink spell...
The appendix to "Basic Theory of Magic 1" lists a total of five universal spells.
This is what first-grade students need to learn.
"Magic Bullet Spell, Push Spell..."
Dark looked at the appendix with some surprise; these five general spells were quite different from what he had imagined for beginners.
"Normally, shouldn't it be Fireball 1, Fireball 2, Fireball 3... like that?"
It seems that most of the students share his idea.
The students flipped through the catalog and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Professor Cazell watched the students whispering among themselves, and instead of being annoyed, he smiled slightly.
He reached out and pressed down, then said, “These five general spells may seem basic, but they are crucial spells that can permeate a mage’s entire life. In time, you will naturally discover their importance. Today’s lesson will only cover the principles; we won’t be doing any experiments. The formal experiments will take place next Monday. And starting this month, the professors will no longer provide material kits for the experiments; you will need to find the materials list yourself and purchase them using your own credits.”
Compared to the confusion caused by the universal spells, Professor Kazel's last words clearly had a greater impact on the students.
After a brief moment of silence, the classroom suddenly became noisy.
One of the girls immediately raised her hand and asked, "Professor, what if we don't have enough credits and can't afford the materials?"
Professor Cazell said kindly, "Professors will estimate your existing credits when assigning homework. As long as you listen attentively in class and complete your assignments on time, there will be no problem with insufficient credits."
Another student, keenly aware of Professor Cazell's implication, exclaimed in surprise, "Professor, does this mean that starting today, there will be experimental assignments?"
Professor Kazel nodded and said, "Actually, it's already happened before. The creation of 'Magical Beasts' falls into this category."
Several more students then raised their hands to ask questions, and Professor Cazell answered them one by one.
After asking all the questions, the junior mages finally gave up in despair.
It seems that from today onwards, not only can we no longer just laze around and wait to die, but we also need to learn to be frugal.
Emma, sitting in the front row, looked calm.
In the last row, Witt excitedly gave Robert a high five.
Looking at Diana's pitiful gaze from the window, Dark said coldly, "Solve it yourself."
Diana could only count on her fingers the expenses she had to cut back on.
Rose chuckled to herself.
In fact, they all earned quite a few credits from the masquerade ball activities, and as long as they didn't squander them, they were financially well-off.
……
In the following class, Professor Kazel carefully explained the principles and methods of imprinting spells onto magic cards.
But the students had lost interest in the lesson and were just mindlessly taking notes.
Aside from reminding students not to forget to buy materials at the Traveler's Street on the weekend, Professor Cazell did not assign any additional homework.
"Jingle Bell."
The bell rings.
As soon as the professor left the classroom, the students' emotions exploded.
The classroom was filled with all sorts of wails and cries.
Many people had been looking forward to the History of Magic class that afternoon, which would be taught by the principal, but now they had all lost interest.
With a smile on his lips, Dak packed his things and prepared to leave the classroom.
But just as he was about to get up, Emma appeared in front of him.
Emma clutched the notebook and whispered, "You promised to lend it to me to copy."
Darke suddenly remembered what happened last night and said, "Tonight, I'll bring it to the library."
"Okay!" Emma responded softly and quickly left.
Diana glanced at Emma, then whispered in Rose's ear, "Let's go to the library tonight too!"
Rose nodded: "It's perfect timing to finish the assignment Professor Lily gave me."
……
After leaving the classroom, Dak did not go to the cafeteria.
He knocked and entered Professor Cazell's office, asking, "Professor, is this a convenient time?"
The professor nodded slightly and pointed to the sofa.
Dak then sat on the sofa and skillfully began to brew tea.
Professor Cazell sighed and suddenly said, "Dimon, I'm really sorry."
Dark was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Professor, the one you need to apologize to is not me."
A trace of sadness appeared on Professor Kazel's face: "I've felt guilty all these years. If I had been more resolute in stopping them from entering the Ancient Temple, things wouldn't have turned out this way. When I learned that Didi's goal was to create the Tears of the Goddess, I couldn't bring myself to stop them. Thankfully, you were here."
Dark said helplessly, "I wasn't talking about her."
Professor Cazell nodded and said, "I know."
Dark: "Let's change the subject. Professor, I'd like to know what's so special about the castle's location, and what its historical significance is?"
Chapter 128 History Lives On, Heroes Never Fade
Faced with Dark's sudden question, Professor Cazell frowned and said, "This is not something you should know."
Dark, however, believed he had found the key and immediately said, "Professor, I don't want to go into that."
"Let me think."
He leaned back in his chair and tapped the table with the knuckles of his middle finger.
As the hands on the clock slowly turned, the atmosphere in the office grew increasingly tense.
Professor Cazell finally spoke: "Since you've become curious, you'll surely find relevant literature. However, I must remind you that while I believe you know how to avoid danger, other students may not, so you'd better keep what I'm about to say to yourself."
Dark smiled and said, "Professor, I know, I'm very tight-lipped."
Professor Cazell ignored the deeper meaning in his words and continued, "I can't tell you much, just the answers to these two questions."
Dak immediately perked up and listened carefully.
Professor Cazell: "Saint Marian's Castle does not exist anywhere on the continent."
Dark: "Isn't it in the north of the kingdom?"
Professor Cazell shook his head and said, "Of course not. What we see outside as St. Marian is merely a real projection of the castle. The castle does not actually exist on the kingdom's territory, and therefore is not under the kingdom's jurisdiction."
Dak never expected to receive this answer; he was so surprised that he forgot to drink his tea.
